Further improving their Phoenix Game Engine, ultimately resulting with improved code of your own, are MK2k and InsertWittyName with version 0.02.

I said it before, and I’ll say it again… This is a Lua wrapper of the Phoenix Game Engine (PGE) allowing you to write clean and functional code with little or less frustration on your part. The PGE Lua API is nicely documented and you may refer to that right here.

Video demo, 0.02 changelog and download, all available after this break…

Lua developers — virtually lend yourself a coder’s hand with InsertWittyName and MK2k’s Phoenix Game Engine.

PGE Lua is a wrapper of the said engine allowing minimal code to execute more complicated routines — file/directory access, TrueType font loading and drawing, socket functions, audio playback, USB I/O, and the list goes on… Watch the demonstration video below –

Furthermore, to help wrap your head around things, PGE Lua comes with 23 fully commented samples demonstrating the use of each module.
